Go and school nostr:nprofile1qqs9qp2dql3vmuetzq6hw77eeaeej2j2ughers22wch0m2jm7c05w4g7fd4xj on how awesome LN is.
Please do!
Bitcoin’s lack of privacy is not an accident & it’s not the result of negligence.
It’s a deliberate choice, as cowardly devs & sellout community members deliberately ignore a decade of research & experimentation.
This is why I’m making a magazine about privacy. To change the culture, remind readers that there’s still a chapter 10 in the Bitcoin whitepaper, and explain how we can learn from projects such as Monero, Zcash, Litecoin, Nym, Firo, Zano, and more.
I’m not doing this alone: more than a dozen of writers are joining me to explain to you why privacy is important, why you should desire it, and how you can currently use it.
I expect this magazine to get launched on time for nostr:npub1j0yy96lj8cye7wu9ycezudnng363ymtguwc0t97xvvw8xlss25jstf0hd9 next month. So stay tuned! And if you want to sponsor the project, DM me and you’ll get a full page ad.
Hope you like this front cover: it combines the origins of a popular meme with the realities of Bitcoin privacy. Pepe cheers for the pumper in chief, but surrenders his privacy and cypherpunk ethos for some NGU.
And before you jump at me and say that adding privacy to Bitcoin is premature and might lead to hidden inflation, remember that even Dandelion++ (a protocol which hides your wallet’s IP address from the rest of the network, which was built for BTC but adopted by Monero) is currently not part of the software client.
Think about it! And watch out for this magazine next month when it gets released! 
Tomorrow I’ll publish S15 E57 of the Bitcoin Takeover podcast, featuring Orkun Kilic!
We talk about Citrea, ZK rollups vs sidechains, use cases for rollups, and what building a BTC economy is about.
Subscribe! 🐸
We talked about 15 minutes longer, but the footage was cut short by my camera’s sudden shutdown 🙈
Had to restart the stream due to a connection issue.
New link:
Prof. Richard Werner is the author of “Princes of the Yen” and the mainstream economist who created quantitative easing.
Today, he is a fan of Bitcoin, hates CBDCs, and supports small community banks.
Find out more from S15 E56 of the Bitcoin Takeover podcast!
You won’t hear Prof. Richard Werner on any other Bitcoin podcast 🙃
Thrilled to announce that today at 9 PM CET/2 PM EST, I will publish my interview with Professor Richard Werner:
World-renown economist who predicted the credit bubbles + banking crisis of 2008, wrote the best-seller “Princes of the Yen”, and is also a big fan of Bitcoin!
Tune in to learn more about economics based on empirical data, the importance of local community banks, and what role Bitcoin can play in the grand scheme of things!
Bitcoin Takeover podcast S15 E56, let’s go! 💪🏻 
Antagonizing cash is one of the biggest mistakes in promoting Bitcoin. Or potentially a psyop.
Cash is cypherpunk as fuck: private, permissionless, fungible, easily transportable, relatively easy to verify with a UV light pen.
It’s the banks + the cashless society who are the enemy. It’s the CBDCs. But not cash, the most convenient way to make local payments.
We should think of ways to turn bitcoin into cash for transactions when the internet is off, not tell people to pay with Visa to earn points. 
Thank you, sir!
Supras & girlfriends soon 🤪
When I tell you that the Bitcoin Takeover podcast has THE SMARTEST LISTENERS in the world, I’m not kidding.
Look at this comment I just got.
READ IT!!!
You think McCormack’s listeners ever referenced Dostoyevsky in their comments? Maybe Livera’s?
LOL 
To all listeners of the Bitcoin Takeover podcast: I need your help!
For 5+ years, I had to answer to the question “who are your listeners?”
I have some rough stats, but don’t know specifics.
If you see this message + listen to the show, please leave a comment.
Here’s the private Bitcoin transaction that nostr:npub1pww7030g95nv9ptfpgfu69jpfxj6pm33xxueztsupwekce45wx4sm6en60 has sent me during S15 E54 of the Bitcoin Takeover podcast.
This is what it looks like when you send directly from a CoinJoin – thus improving the sender’s privacy.
What Bitcoin needs right now in order to become fungible is confidentiality – the ability to hide amounts.
Think you can deanonymize this? Give it a try:
